Le sommeil et les reves

"Few people would say they smell in their dreams, but Francesca Faruolo talks vividly about her own experiences. Her dreams are often fragrant, she says."

"I have very positive olfactory dreams, especially featuring orange flower, a flower linked to the heart," says Faruolo, director of the Smell Festival which takes place every May in the north Italian city of Bologna.

"Olfactory dreamers do exist," she insists. "They are people who, in their everyday lives are either very sensitive to smells or have a highly trained sense of smell."
